• 1. Has the story reached thee of the overwhelming (Event)?

  • 2. Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated,

  • 3. Labouring (hard), weary,-

  • 4. The while they enter the Blazing Fire,-

  • 5. The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring,

  • 6. No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari`

  • 7. Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger.

  • 8. (Other) faces that Day will be joyful,

  • 9. Pleased with their striving,-

  • 10. In a Garden on high,

  • 11. Where they shall hear no (word) of vanity:

  • 12. Therein will be a bubbling spring:

  • 13. Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high,

  • 14. Goblets placed (ready),

  • 15. And cushions set in rows,

  • 16. And rich carpets (all) spread out.

  • 17. Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?-

  • 18. And at the Sky, how it is raised high?-

  • 19. And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-

  • 20. And at the Earth, how it is spread out?

  • 21. Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish.

  • 22. Thou art not one to manage (men`s) affairs.

  • 23. But if any turn away and reject Allah,-

  • 24. Allah will punish him with a mighty Punishment,

  • 25. For to Us will be their return;

  • 26. Then it will be for Us to call them to account.
